RESTLESS RENEGADE (Into Mischief), a homebred for Three Chimneys Farm and Fern Circle Stables, debuts here for Kenny McPeek on a busy Sunday coast to coast for well-bred juveniles. Out of GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes victress and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies runner-up–among three placings at the highest level–Restless Rider (Distorted Humor), the colt has three works over the Churchill Downs track since moving there in early October from Saratoga. This is the immediate female family of MGSW Private Vow (Broken Vow). TJCIS PPs

Bisou (Curlin) is likely to be the most high-profile debuter on Sunday as the first foal of champion Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute). His dam enjoyed a career which saw her retire as the wealthiest female racehorse in North America, and she brought $5-million in 2020 at the Fasig-Tipton 'Night of the Stars' in Kentucky from Chuck Allen, who was buying out his partners. Two years later, Japan swooped in–as largely expected in many circles–and bought her for a sales-topping $5.5-million at KEENOV while in foal to Tapit with Katsumi Yoshida signing the ticket. His dam's lone flagbearer in the States, with her delivering that Tapit filly in Japan in 2023 and producing a Kitasan Black (Jpn) filly in 2024, Bisou will race for Allen Racing and Bloom Racing Stable. This is also the family of GSW & MGISP Verifying (Justify) as well as MGSP Stage Left (Congrats). TJCIS PPs

Journalism (Curlin), the first foal of GSW & MGISP Mopotism (Uncle Mo) will make the races here for the partnership of Bridlewood Farm, Don Alberto Stable, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Elayne Stables 5 LLC and Robert LaPenta after being purchased last year at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling sale for $825,000. The bay comes into this race with an Oct. 19 work where he clocked four furlongs on the main track in :47.40 (3/71). Trainer Michael McCarthy will send him to post.
To that one's inside is Mellencamp (Constitution), debuting for SF Racing LLC, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables LLC, Dianne Bashor, Determined Stables, Robert E. Masterson, Tom Ryan, Waves Edge Capital LLC and Catherine Donovan. His unplaced dam American Model (Bayern) was a $600,000 yearling at the 2018 FTSAUG auction while her son brought $775,000 at KEESEP last year. The mare is a half-sister to MGISW American Gal (Concord Point) and that one's full-sibling SW & MGSP Americanize as well as GSP Magic Tap (Tapit). This is the immediate female family of Group 1 winner Reynaldothewizard (Speightstown); MGISW Seventh Street (Street Cry {Ire}); GSW & GISP Lake Avenue (Tapit); and GISP Marking (Bernardini).

Cipriani (Bernardini) comes into this debut with a sparkling $875,000 OBSMAR price tag from early this spring, changing hands to Speedway Stables LLC. Sent to the barn of Bob Baffert, this daughter of the late Bernardini is the most recent offspring to the races for SW & GSP Salamera, who also produced $850,000 OBSSPR juvenile in-training grad Flying Drummer (Gun Runner). The mare is a half-sister to SP Adore You (Tactical Cat), whose claim to fame is as the dam of MSW Outadore (Outwork); MSW Piedi Bianchi (Overanalyze) and SW Mind Reader (Gemologist). The morning line tabs Cipriani at 2-5 odds with three of her last six works being bullets. TJCIS PPs
